Translink Execs Want to Have their Cake and Eat it Too

Translink’s board of directors recently voted its top executives a pay increase of up to 25%, and the new range for the CEO is now $406,634 to $517,443. The value of benefits they receive is on top of this. Now, half a million dollars is more than the Prime Minister gets paid, so how does Translink justify it? Translink hired a consulting firm to help them with a months-long review that resulted in a report…

Freedom of Expression and Shifting Identities

On April 15th, the BC Supreme Court issued a judgement in a case involving a transgender child and the child’s father. I’ll start with the judgement, then fill in some background of the case, and lastly discuss the larger social and political context. First, the judgement, which may be considered a landmark, for good or ill. The names of the parties have been anonymized, and the child is referred to as “AB”, and the father…

VANCOUVER, BC: The British Columbia Libertarian Party welcomes the public to meet and greet with its leadership and candidates during this year’s Vancouver 420 Cannabis Protest at Sunset Beach on April 20th, 2019. This year, the Vancouver 420 organizers have granted the BC Libertarian Party a great corner Booth in Spot #191 for the entire duration of the event. (Refer to: https://420vancouver.com/book) We believe the BC NDP have completely fumbled the important multi-billion dollar cannabis…

Making Life Affordable

"We are all much worse off than we should be. On average taxation removes over 40% of all personal income. A BC Libertarian government will grow our economy by making life more affordable for everyone."

BC is a Resource Economy

"BC is blessed with abundance. Our province is built upon these great resources. Apathy or denial of this reality only hurts British Columbians today and our children tomorrow. A BC Libertarian government firmly stands for responsible development of a robust and sustainable resource economy."

End ICBC

“ICBC’s insurance business is a Frankenstein that combines the worst parts of public and private sector organizations. It is no wonder that 78% of British Columbians favour more competition and consumer choice in car insurance."

Shrinking and Decentralizing Government

"BC is on the superhighway to ever larger and intrusive government - a freeway with no exit ramps. The only escape where British Columbians are given back control of their life is a U-turn with a BC Libertarian government."

OUR PLATFORM FOR BC

Abolishing The Liquor Distribution Cartel

"The provincial government artificially raises the prices of beer, wine and spirits by up to 170% their original price. Further, The Cannabis Act creates a new state oligopoly in the production of marijuana, this hurts businesses and consumers alike."

Effective Cannabis Legalization

"The government has created a heavily regulated, highly taxed cannabis regime that is self-defeating. If the goal is curtail the black market, squeeze out organized crime, and help the province’s bottom line, it’s failing badly."

Adapting to a Changing Climate

“A BC Libertarian environmental policy is built upon a foundation of best evidence, the least disruption to how British Columbians live, and TRULY safeguarding our natural surroundings. Present policy has failed on all these fronts spectacularly."

Lowering Taxes for Every British Columbian

“The BC Libertarian Party policies target the taxes paid most often by average British Columbians. Our policies combine to reduce total taxes and fees paid by an average family of 4 by over $5000 annually."

Ridesharing That Works

About

The BC Libertarian Party was founded in 1986 to advocate for individual liberty, low taxes, free markets and social tolerance. We believe that all citizens should be free to seek their own interests, so long as they never harm another person while doing so. We also uphold that free economies lead to prosperity.

Towards this ends, the only proper role of government is to protect our life, liberty, and right to pursue happiness.
